To ALL WHoM 1T MAY CONOEEN.: Y

Be itlnownzthet I, CHARLES H."LAWRENCE, of the city, county,gand State of New York, have invented e.

new and improved Printing-Galley; und Ido hereby declare that the following is 'a full, clear, and exact descripv tionthereof, which will enable others skilledin the `a-rt to makeV anduse the same, reference being had to the accompanying drewings, forming part of this specification, l

The present invention relates to e newand improved mode of constructing printing-galleys, which, from their peculiar construction, will not be liable to shrink, as all galleys at present invariably do after using for e short time.

The construction of` my improved galley will be clearly understood from the following description, reference l being had to the accompanying drawings, forming c. part of this specification, in which-'- AFigure v1 represents a sectional view, through-the line z x, of a. portion of my improved galley, and Figure 2 is a. plan of the same. Similar letter-sof reference indicate-corresponding parts. A Y The letter a represents the fr ame ofthe galley. This frame is made of wood, with its corners halved and mtred, so as to meke a. good stil' joint, and is cutdown its centre, along the inner side, a. depth of about t o-A thirds of itswidth, so as to receive the metal tongue b, which is to be drawnsheet metal, and soldered to the lining c. The metal bottom d is secured by means of vscrews e, which areput in from the underside, and pass through the tongue b, thus' securing the whole firmly, and in such a manner asl toprevent the galley from shrinking, from the heat of the rooin,\vhich has heretofore been a. source of great trouble und annoyance to the printingpublic. V-

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent The lining c, having the metel tongue 6, in combination with the framea,v.bottol`n d, and screw e, applied in the manner and for the pui-poso substantially als herein'shown and described. Y

` '.lhe above specification of my inventon'signedby ine, this 23d dnyof Mnreh,'1868.
